Lasagna Biscuit Cups

Thursday, April 19, 2012

Lasagna is one of my all-time favorite foods, but it isn't an easy weeknight meal. My homemade lasagna is usually an all-day process, so I came up with this quick alternative. These lasagna biscuit cups have all the flavor of lasagna without all the work. I used cottage cheese in this dish, but you can substitute ricotta cheese if you aren't a cottage cheese fan. We both absolutely loved this dish. I could have eaten the whole batch by myself. They were also good reheated for lunch the next day.

So far I've loved most of your recipes, but you are way too talented to keep doing the _________ (fill in the blank)in a cup, crescent, roll, etc. - thing. I'm sure these are tasty, but you can do better!

Not sure why using ready-to-bake biscuit dough for a recipe is such an issue for some people, but if they don't like it, they don't have to do it - or they can make their own biscuit dough first. However, my question is this - how do you get them from the muffin tin without spillage?

SJerZGirl - I let them cool just a minute and they just popped out. I have a goldtouch pan from Williams Sonoma - it is a little deeper than some of my other muffin pans. There was a little that bubbled over in the pan, but nothing major. They were really good!

We are making these tonight! Thanks for all your easy to follow ideas! Your blog makes a home cooked meal in our house possible. Other food blogs post recipes too hard for a new wife with limited income and time. Thanks!

My grandma makes something similar to this, (although she hasn't done so in quite some time!), we called them pizza cups. Same basic idea, just with pizza ingredients instead of lasagna, lol. Hers are pretty simple: biscuits, browned hamburger, onions, pizza sauce, pepperoni and shredded mozzarella cheese. These look great, too! It's another recipe I'll have to try someday!

These were FABULOUS!! Family insisted it be added to our Repeat Recipes Book. YUMMY!! I also used the cottage cheese and whizzed it in the food processor until it looked like ricotta. No one knew the difference. Thanks!!
